- Olaus Johan Murie (March 1, 1889 – October 21, 1963), called the "father of modern elk management", was a naturalist, author, and wildlife biologist who did groundbreaking field research on a variety of large northern mammals. Rather than conducting empirical experiments, Murie practiced a more observational-based science. Murie focused his research on the North American continent by conducting vast studies throughout Canada, Alaska and Wyoming. Through these constructive yet sometimes treacherous trips, Murie was able to gain valuable experience observing species and collecting specimens. During his first expedition to Canada, Murie discovered his passion for fieldwork and was able to develop resourceful skills from his Eskimo and Indian guides, which were critical for his survival in such a harsh environment. Murie employed many of these same skills as he travelled to Alaska and finally to Wyoming. These trips served as the foundation for many of his key ideas about wildlife management and conservation. As a scientist of the U.S. Biological Survey, Murie developed key ideas concerning predator prey relationships. Generally unheard of during his time, Murie argued that a healthy predator population was key to ensuring a harmonious balance between predator and prey populations. Murie used these ideas to improve current wildlife management practices. Throughout his life Murie advocated on behalf of wildlife conservation and management. With his wife, Mardie Murie, he successfully campaigned to enlarge the boundaries of the Olympic National Park, and to create the Jackson Hole National Monument and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. During his career, Murie held many respected positions within environmental organizations. He served as president of The Wilderness Society, The Wildlife Society, and as director of the Izaak Walton League. (en)

Hij realiseerde een grote doorbraak in het veldonderzoek met betrekking tot een aantal grote Noord-Amerikaanse zoogdieren, met name wapiti. Vanaf 1937 was Murie actief in verschillende milieuorganisaties, waaronder , en de . Samen met zijn echtgenote Margaret lobbyde hij met succes voor de uitbreiding van het Olympic National Park, tegen de bouw van dammen in Glacier National Park, en voor de oprichting van Jackson Hole National Monument (nu Grand Teton National Park) en het Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. De Muries kregen veel erkenning voor hun werk. Olaus en Margaret Murie woonden in Moose (Wyoming), een gehucht dat nu onder het Grand Teton National Park valt. staat op het National Register of Historic Places. Olaus' broer beoefende hetzelfde beroep en deed baanbrekend werk voor de studie van wilde wolven en beren. (nl)
